Just thinking, wouldn't it be useful to strongly encourage that the document should be in plain text format ? Otherwise the door remains open for sending you a self-extractable EXE file which contains an encrypted Word doc, which is not the most useful to handle especially to copy-paste mitigation code nor to comment on. Even some occasional PDFs we've seen on the sec@k.o list were sometimes quite detailed but less convenient than the vast majority of plain text ones, particularly when it comes to quoting some parts. Just my two cents, Willy
